In the realm of hypercars, Bugatti has long been synonymous with power, luxury, and cutting-edge engineering. The anticipation for the successor to the iconic Chiron has been building, and the latest revelation from Molsheim has car enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. Bugatti has officially confirmed that the upcoming hypercar will feature a V16 engine as part of a hybrid powertrain, maintaining the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance. Although details are scarce, the prospect of a V16 hybrid has ignited the imagination of car enthusiasts worldwide.
Bugatti has released a tantalizing video showcasing the sound of the carbon fiber-bathed V16 engine, fueling speculation about its specifications. While official details are being kept under wraps, hints from company officials suggest that the combustion engine, possibly developed by Cosworth, could boast an immense 8.3-liter displacement. Some sources even speculate that the engine might be naturally aspirated, a feature suggested by the video's high-revving soundtrack. Reports suggest a breathtaking 9,000 rpm, coupled with three electric motors, resulting in a combined output of a staggering 1,800 horsepower. However, enthusiasts are advised to approach these details with caution, as Bugatti is expected to reveal more information leading up to the official debut in June. The Chiron successor is not merely an evolution but an entirely new model designed to be the pure embodiment of Bugatti's DNA. Led by Bugatti Director of Design Achim Anscheidt, this hypercar marks the end of an era as Anscheidt will be passing the torch to a new design team. The hypercar is promised to be "incomparable in every detail," cementing Bugatti's commitment to pushing the limits of automotive excellence.
Bugatti's decision to replace the W16 with a V16 hybrid in its Chiron successor is a bold move that aligns with the brand's legacy of pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering. The upcoming hypercar is poised to redefine the hypercar landscape, not only with its powerful V16 engine but also with Bugatti's unwavering commitment to creating an automotive masterpiece that stands the test of time. As the world eagerly anticipates the debut of this hypercar in June, Bugatti enthusiasts can rest assured that they are in for an exhilarating ride into the future of automotive excellence.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
